clappy, regarding the race between oneworld and stars and stripes - it was very weird. oneworld was leading, as they were approaching the first mark, but, the mark wasn't there. various committee boats i guess were approaching lickity split to the area and then all of a sudden it was announced that one of those boats would be the "mark" and it raised a flag to indicate that. unfortunately by that time, one world had sailed past it, but stars and stripes had yet to get there. so S&S easily rounded the mark first, OW had to back track and then again circle the mark. that put them approximately 2 minutes behind. it was a huge F.U. - reminds me of badly run judo tournaments. as they approached the finish, OW had caught up significantly and then the gods smiled down at them. the wind died completely and neither boat crossed the finish line in the time allotted. the race was abandoned and they get to do it all another day. hoser
